Steps are much more limited to procedures that are narrow and in order to understand a step you often need to draw on a number of discernments. Discernments are much more about perception and how we come to understand a concept while a step is simply an act needed in order to get to a certain goal/point of completion. When playing lightbox you had to keep referring back to certain discernments in order to pass the level. There were no concrete steps or a formula to follow each time.
